Spinach and cottage cheese pie

I really like this pie. A great choice for dinner or as an appetizer, and for people who do not like much meat as I this can be a complete meal with a good salad.
Otherwise, I have to brag – I started to design my own recipes more and more. The last few that I have published were my work, wholly or largely done without the aid of a cookbook. Every day it gets easier for me to determine the amounts and combinations of intgredients that work well together, and this is particularly true for desserts (savory I have been combining for years, just never wrote the ingredients). Currently I’mpreparing a recipe for a nice cake that I will present as a part of my first gastro-collaboration – but you’ll read more about it soon :)
Until then, let’s concentrate on dinner :)

On the counter mix flour, salt and cheese. In the middle make a density and add the eggs, oil and cream. Knead a firm dough.

If you work with the butter, you must mix the flour, salt and cheese first with the cold butter ​​and rub between your hands until you have a crumbly mixture - then add the eggs, and if necessary, a little cold water (2-3 tablespoons) and knead the dough.

Roll the dough into a circle slightly larger than the mold (about 1/2 cm thick) and put it in a greased pan, so that the dough reaches almost to the edge of the mold.

Needle in several places and place in the refrigerator until the filling is done.

Filling

If using frozen spinach, thaw it and drain well. If using fresh, boil it very shortly (2 minutes), drain and chop it. Add all other ingredients and mix well. The garlic must be finely chopped.

Preheat the oven to 200 ° C. Remove the mold with the dough from the refrigerator mold with dough and pour the mixture in.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the dough gets a brown color, and the pie surface will also brown a bit. Let it rest for 15-minutes, cut into wedges and serve with fresh tomatoes and sour cream. Bon appetit!

I wanted to share something else with you: My frustration with not having the right camera to make the right photos is sometimes fun … So I googled a bit and I made my own light box from a laundry basket, some A3 white paper and a clip-on lamp – for photographing in the absence of natural light. Not the best solution, but for now it works …
